Hey everyone,

I was going through a box of stuff and I came across a Media Vision SCSI Adaptor. It probably belongs (or came with) my Pro Audio Spectrum 16:

However, does anyone know a bit more about this? The RCA audio looks interesting. Does anyone happen to know how to use this in conjunction with a PAS16? How does it connect to the PAS16 (15 pin header?). I assume that SCSI part of it works by connecting the SCSI on the PAS16 to this adaptor to make the SCSI external... More interested in the audio bit though... Has anyone ever used this adaptor?

Looks like a SCSI adapter for an external SCSI CDROM drive. The RCAs are for audio in and there is a 4 pin header for connecting them to the sound card CDROM audio in.

Would connect to something like this:

It's not really a SCSI adapter. It just converts an internal SCSI cable to the external type.

I quite recently purchased a PAS16 & SCSI connector, as pictured.

As AC said, it's just a board to connect the internal SCSI controller to an external device. The RCA connectors would take audio input from the external CD drive, and you'd need a special 5-pin to 5-pin internal CD audio connector to get sound to the PAS16. It probably wouldn't be too hard to rig up something though.

The cable pictured is a 50-pin internal SCSI cable, it has an internal connector but it's impossible to tell if this was hooked up to anything. I used a Pro 3D for quite a number of years with only one drive connected, never tested to see if it supported multiple devices.

Awesome!

I have an unsed 50 pin SCSI cable somewhere. If I can drum up a 5 pin connector than all taken together it will make a nice set.
